Above is a tired ripped faded old sign that desperately needs updating.
As indicated by the other adjacent obsolete signage on right it has been there for quite a few years. It has done well to last this long.
Brenda Lawson from DOC is happy to oblige and pay for a new 1m x 3m sign.
The location is on a very prominent corner outside a fishy motel in the Trout Fishing Capital of the World – to which anglers travel from all around the world to gather and tell lies.
Please don’t tell “you know who” about the plan or it might need another resource consent.
If they ask, it is only a temporary sign, so does not qualify.

To make it irresistible Didymo Dave will donate a dozen of his special flies (Note to Dave – a Baker’s dozen is 13) as part of the prize package to go with a TRM lucky hat and two nights accommodation.
Brenda will decide on the winning slogan.
So please send your suggestions to ross@tongarirorivermotel.co.nz to qualify.
